Atrient announced the release of V3, the newest version of its award-winning PowerKiosk suite. The kiosk employs facial recognition technology to allow patrons to log in to promotional devices without a player’s club card. Customers not utilizing facial recognition can also log in with an email address or mobile phone number. Traditional magnetic striped and RFID cards will continue to be supported.
“It is the largest release to ever be introduced,” said Sam Attisha, CEO of Atrient. “We have rewritten our marketing platform from the ground up.”
Atrient’s card printing kiosk has also expanded to leverage facial recognition to achieve a higher degree of security by comparing the patron’s image captured at the kiosk with their driver’s license image.
Other new feature releases include social gaming, multi-language, iPad integration and a completely new interface for configuration. Additionally, together with Everi, Atrient will be showcasing the ability to rebate ATM fees. “We have focused on developing solutions to solve problems,” Attisha said. “V3 solves the real-world issues operators have.”
Throughout the process, Atrient keeps it fun. To complement the release they created a sneak peek, at the website v3.atrient.com.
PowerKiosk V3 eliminates the need for contracting with multiple vendors to conduct difficult and costly integrations. SMS, Gamification and mobile applications can now all be deployed by Atrient using the PowerKiosk marketing engine. Omni Bus connectivity is still available for operators looking to use APIs to connect third parties to the PowerKiosk platform. Atrient’s game catalog leads the industry with over 300 titles today; 100 new titles are being released with the entire catalog available in HTML5.
Founded 20 years ago as a software development house, Atrient has focused on meeting the technical challenges of providing a flexible platform with the goal of letting the business determine how they want to market. Utilizing a reverse shore development model, core advances are done in Detroit, with testing and ancillary development being completed through global delivery centers. Atrient prides itself on building and delivering trusted stable software releases.
“Over the last decade, we have been exposed to operators of all sizes that have different needs and expectations. We worked closely with operational departments and the front line—staff members interacting with patrons on a daily basis—to understand how we can create solutions that continue to evolve with today’s, and tomorrow’s needs.” Attisha said. “If you are wondering what’s next for Atrient, artificial intelligence.”
